Michael Grinfeld

Michael Grinfeld obtained, after studying biology at Tel-Aviv University, the M.S. degree in biomathematics from the Weizmann Institute of Science. Grinfeld, then, got the Ph.D. degree in applied mathematics at RPI, USA, under the supervision of Marshall Slemrod, working on a problem of phase transitions in gas dynamics. Then, Grinfeld also worked at Heriot-Watt University and Bath and Bristol. Since 1994, Grinfeld has been serving as a Reader at the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Strathclyde. Grinfeld's research interests are mainly in differential equations arising in material science and in biomathematics as well as macroeconomic modelling. At present, Grinfeld is the Convener of Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society and is on the Editorial Board of Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences.
